Chapter 3 - 3

Rachel, totally oblivious to her interesting new admirer, continued her routine power walk, finished up her cardio workout, and headed for the hot tub to relax. She enjoyed letting the soothing jets of hot water take her away like the old Calgon commercials promised. Rachel entered the hot tub area noticing, as usual, she had the whole place to herself. 'Good because I am not in the mood for small talk, I just want to relax,' she thought as she peeled off her biker shorts, removed her shoes, and socks. Rachel then grabbed a bottled water from the cooler near the tubs and entered the last tub in the room. Removing the towel from her neck Rachel set it beside her bottled water and cell phone before submerging herself into the water as one of her favorite songs started up on her playlist; Rachel leaned her head back and closed her eyes as India Arie began to sing Brown Skin. Taking a quick peaking glance around the hot tub area to make sure she was still alone, Rachel then settled back down into the soothing waters closed her eyes, leaning back with her head pillowed by her towel and began singing along with India.

" Brown skin, up against my brown skin, I can't tell were yours begins, I can't tell where mine ends," Rachel loved this song every time she heard it she pictured the man of her dreams the description of India's words gave her a vivid images of a complexion of rich cocoa brown, smooth but hard with muscles, tall, broad shoulders, thick neck with powerful arms, long enough to wrap around her in a big bear hug, and strong enough to lift her up to wrap her legs around his waist for a passionate sensual standing love sessions. Yes, Rachel knew just what she would do with her Mr. Brown skin and she sang the song as if she were singing just for her fantasy lover. As she poured herself into the next chorus of the song, she felt something or someone enter the hot tub. Startled she quickly sat up and opened her eyes to encounter a perfectly sculptured naked male chest covered in just the warm, delicious milk chocolate skin she imagined as she sang. An ordinary woman would have immediately shot a glance upward to see the face attached to such an impressive chest, however, Rachel; never one for being ordinary, took the scenic route. Taking in the width of the man's sinfully smooth chest expanse. In jaw dropping awe Rachel's eyes feasted on the quarter size dark brown, puckered, male nipples, and licked her lips as her gaze was drawn to a droplet of water which traveled the downward path of silky black chest hair grazing the most heavenly chest she'd ever had the good fortune to be near. Navigating a happy trail which held her undivided attention as it traversed the ridges of muscles making up an eight pack of tight male washboard abs. Rachel still could not bring herself to look up as she watched with baited breath that same droplet of water's slow descent until it met the waistband of black trunks. And all further scrutiny halted as the droplet slid into the bubbling waters of the Jacuzzi. Only then did Rachel's eyes make the slow return journey appreciating once again the abs, and pecs to discover strong arms corded with muscles, extremely broad shoulders, and a powerful neck reminding her of a football player or a superhero. Rachel groaned as she tilted her head back moving upward to take in a masculine chin sporting a neatly shaved black goatee flowing upward into a trim mustache which framed full lips that were smiling giving Rachel a glimpse of perfect pearly white even teeth. Tilting her head back a little more, she took in the strong square jaw line which was sporting deep dimples that seemed to be begging for her to explore. However, she couldn't stop there; tilting her head back even further until the back of her head touched the towel she'd used as a pillow; Rachel took in Mr. Brown Skin aquiline nose which held the man's only imperfection, as it was slightly crooked. Although, this did not detract from his handsomeness, the slight bump just made him more real. As Rachel's gaze continued up to encounter smoldering, sexy, slate grey eyes, she felt oddly light headed. Her breath caught in her throat and she found herself involuntarily holding her breath.

'Damn, the man had the most beautiful eyes she'd ever seen on a man in her life.' She thought to herself. 'And good hair too, the same silky black of his chest covered his head in a close cropped style which lay in smooth waves,' Rachel thought, 'this man definitely has some Indian in his family.' The man standing before her was most assuredly the physical embodiment of her Mr. Brown Skin. The man she'd fantasized about. The one she would find and make her love slave. The man who would show her what multiple orgasms felt like. Shaken out of her stupor, she realized his lips were moving but she had not heard a thing he had said. Clearing her throat, she reached for her bottled water to take a sip as she pulled the ear buds of the cell phone from her ears and said,

"Excuse me, what did you say?"

Sean smiled as he realized Rachel experiencing the same instant attraction he felt earlier as he watched her warm up. However, he understood, because he'd had more than an hour to get a grip on the lecherous thoughts she aroused in him.

"I said, hello, Beautiful, you have a lovely voice." "Then I asked if you were an R& B singer, because I want to know your name to see if I could download a copy of your CD," Sean replied.

"Hello, thank you, but no I work in this building for the CDC. Lifting the cell phone to explain, "I have a tendency to sing along with all my favorite tunes when I relax in here after my work outs." "B-because I work so late, I usually have the place to myself and the acoustics in here are great I just can't seem to help myself," Rachel gushed out in one breath with a smile.

"Well I think I was lucky to happen in when I did," Sean replied.

"You truly have a great voice." "I tried not to disturb you because I wanted to relax, soak, and listen to you sing for a while." "Sorry if I startled you," he apologized.

"I'm Sean Grayson, the new swim instructor here at Total Body Fitness. I thought I would check out the center before I start next Monday," Sean said as he submerged himself into the heated bubbling waters, letting the jets of the Jacuzzi work on the muscles in his aching neck and shoulders.

"I was just inquiring about swim lessons last week but was told there were no swim instructors on staff."

Sean rose walking toward Rachel with his right hand extended in greeting, "Well, we do now, how do you do…. ah????" Sean said raising his right eyebrow in a question.

"Rachel, Rachel Matthews," Rachel answered as she clasped Sean's big hand in a firm handshake. "And your name again?" she asked.

"Sean Grayson" he replied, "Nice meeting you, Rachel, I would be happy to give you lessons," he said.

Although the lessons Sean had in mind required strokes that leaned more toward teaching her how to wrap her luscious legs and thighs around him as he stroked them both to heaven. But that was not something he needed to be thinking about right now as he was already sporting a semi erection before he'd entered the Jacuzzi from listening to the words she sang, her nearness, the wet heat of the water, and the sexy wet swim suit Rachel wore; molding to her succulent breast perfectly. As Sean took all this in his growing member was literally getting harder to hide and he quickly sat down in the water releasing Rachel's hand to settle across from her in the bubbling waters. Hoping like hell the pulsating jets were enough to hide his hard on from Rachel's view. Sean did not want her thinking he was a pervert or something.

"So you are offering to give me swim lessons?" Rachel asked eagerly.

"Sure, I would be happy to, I am, the swim instructor, correct?" Sean asked playfully.

"True, but I have tried lessons before, and in spite of all this natural buoyancy," Rachel said standing to hold her arms out to the sides for Sean to give her full figure the once over. "When I try floating I sink like a stone. I don't understand it, Sean, every instructor who tries quits after my first lesson because for some reason I freak out when I'm in a pool of water larger or deeper than this Jacuzzi. However, I am determined to overcome this weakness. Do you truly believe you can teach me?" Rachel said after revealing her flaw to Sean.

Sean secretly loving the way Rachel said his name replied, "I'll tell you what, Rachel, why don't you meet me in the Total Body pool Sunday for your first lesson and we will give it a try. If for any reason you are not comfortable with me or the lesson, we will call a halt to the whole thing and you don't have to continue with any further lessons. Does that sound reasonable to you?" Sean suggested.

"Oh, that sounds like a plan. I'll meet you at the pool Sunday," Rachel agreed. "Well I better hit the showers and head on home. Jared's probably ready to shut the place down for the night and I have an early meeting tomorrow morning," Rachel said as she stood gracefully to exit the hot tub. Sean said goodbye as he watched Rachel gather her things; tuck her feet back into her shoes, and walk out of the room. Groaning, Sean took a good long look at Rachel's succulent buttocks in the wet swim suit as she walked away.

"Damn, I cannot wait to get my hands on that," he said to a now empty room. He'd purposely remained seated as she left because his trunks were tented with a massive boner. Sean leaned his head back on the rim of the tub, as Rachel disappeared from view, to wait for the boner to subside and decided to have a little talk with his out of control libido. 'Ok listen buddy, Sunday we'll both be up close and personal with Rachel during her first swim lesson and we cannot have our trunks tenting with a hard on while giving her lessons. That would spoil everything.' Sean knew he had to gain some control over his attraction to the woman and he must do so before Sunday. With Rachel on his mind Sean sat down for a good long soak to ease the aches out of his stiff neck and shoulders.

Showering, Rachel thought of all that coca brown skin stretched across a body of pure sinful decadence, Sean, she had always liked that name. She now knew why. The man was a treat for the female eyes. Rachel at 5'6" guessed Sean was at least 6'5" or 6'6", as her head only came to his chest. Remembering his powerful arms, Rachel thought, 'he certainly looks capable of keeping me safe during a swim lesson.' Humming, Brown Skin, while quickly finishing her shower, Rachel doused her skin with baby oil, towel pat dry, and sprayed on Sweet Temptation body mist by Victoria Secrets. She then put on her black thong and matching bra, compliments of Fredericks of Hollywood, and her new found love of sexy undies, then slid on her slacks, sweater, and boots, and grabbed her purse heading for the parking deck.
